Chad Reed (Honda) finished fourth in the opening round of the 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium on January 5.
“We have come away with some good points tonight but I wasn’t entirely happy with my result,” Reed said.
“There are 16 races ahead and tonight was about seeing where we all stacked up. I wanted to come away with some good points and we achieved that. It is great to have the first race in the can; we now know what work we have to do ahead of Phoenix.”
Suzuki’s Davi Millsaps zipped past Trey Canard (Honda) on the whoops on the final lap to claim victory, with KTM’s Ryan Dungey third. The other big guns, James Stewart (Suzuki) and Ryan Villopoto (Kawasaki), were eighth and 16th respectively.
Round two will be held in Phoenix on January 12.
